LOVESTRUCK Giveaway Hop!

LOVESTRUCK GIVEAWAY HOP

It is time to hop again! The Lovestruck Giveaway Hop is here and we want to take a moment to thank all the bloggers and authors that are joining us this time around. This is our second year running the LOVESTRUCK Hop and we wouldn’t be able to do it (or any of our hops) without you.

Giveaway Hop Hosted by us, runs August 14 – August 20

Love-struck: (adjective) having a passionate or overwhelming feeling of love; smitten

While thinking about this a few authors came to mind. So we couldn’t narrow this post down to one in particular…

You know what is sexier than a smokin’ hot man with mad skillz in the bedroom? A smokin’ hot man with mad skillz in the bedroom with a Stetson on. That’s right ladies and gents; cowboys. I don’t know what it is about cowboys, it might be because it brings to mind ruggedly handsome alpha males with sexy hats and a knicker meltingly hot drawl, and nobody does them quite like Lorelei James. Not only are they all of the above, but their sometimes tender, sometimes damaged souls melt not only my knickers, but my heart as well. Plus, they often invite over their equally hot cowboy friends for sexy fun times. And all that is why I am so lovestruck by Lorelei James that I am pretty sure it counts as a KO.

Janie Fitzhugh and Abe Lawson have long been divorced and living apart. Now she’s back in town, a changed woman-making cattleman Abe want to wrangle an invitation to her bed…

To get his dream ranch, Renner Jackson has partnered with spoiled daddy’s girl Tierney Pratt. She thinks she can handle this cowboy, but Renner won’t make it easy. Little do they know they will be entangled in ways neither dreamed possible.

But our love is not only cowboys, we have a soft (or hard) spot for rockstars as well. In a sea of rockstars that blend together nowadays, I find comfort in reading that story done right, just like Lauren Dane has always been able to do it. The Brown Siblings caught my interested from the very first page I read about this crazy young chick named Erin. Strong women, sexy men, sensual stories. A master at her craft who will suck you in and make you feel like a member of the Brown’s inner circle, that sense of family that leaves you all tingly inside… Lauren Dane has left me lovestruck with all of her work but especially those Brown bad boys. Tattoos, fame, friends and great sex. I’m hooked.

ALL THE RIGHT NOTES…

Gillian Forrester spent most of her life running from who and what she came from. Until Miles came along. From the moment she held the tiny newborn her older sister didn’t want, Gillian stopped running and began to build a life for herself and her adopted son. Now, thirteen years later, as Gillian’s sister lay dying, she reveals the father’s identity and makes Gillian promise to find him.

Adrian Brown is the epitome of the successful rock star. He’s seen and done it all, with few regrets. It takes a lot to shock him but the bombshell that he has a thirteen-year-old son rocks his world. And Adrian is even more surprised when the buttoned-up, elegant woman who’s raising Miles snags his erotic and romantic attention.

The last thing Gillian expected was to find herself getting hot and heavy with a person like Adrian. But as much as she wants to open up and give herself fully to this amazing man, she’s afraid the secrets of her past and Adrian’s problems with trusting people may keep them apart for good. If love isn’t enough can they find the trust they need?

We have a print copy of each of these books up for grabs!

Now Keep Hopping!

Books have the power to unite people and that is exactly what happened with us! Our love for books have brought us together and we’ve become good friends in a short amount of time. We “met” online through Goodreads and decided to share our passion of books with fellow book lovers. And that is how Under the Covers came to be…

I have lots of authors that leave me that way but a few that come right to mind are Sable Hunter(great tender heroes), Delilah Devlin(smoking hot books) , Maya Banks (the Coulters-enough said),and Becca Van’s Slick Rock Series that I’m reading right now.

Oh there are so many to pick from. Lauren Dane, Elizabeth Reyes, Jasinda Wilder, Shayla Black, Cat Johnson, Lorelei James, and J.R. Ward. I could go on and on and on. These ladies put a lot of passion into their characters and story line. You can’t help but fall in love with their books.

Kathleen Brooks, Jessica Scott, Terri Anne Browning, Kathi S. Barton are some of my favorite authors. However I just read Real by Katy, Evans and I loved it! Remmington and Brooke were such strong characters I could not stop reading!!

So often ending a story with a sigh and starting a new one with the excited hopeful pitter-patter, my idea of the super guy is not necessarily the one with the washboard abs and great hair, often he is the odd guy and one who always tops the list is Harry Dresden from Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series – he just makes me swoon 🙂

There are a couple of authors that leave me love struck. One is Lorelei James. She got me hooked on the cowboys. YUM. Then there is Bianca Sommerland. Her hockey series, Dartmouth Cobras are just amazing.

I’m a sucker for the happily ever after. Romance books almost always have the HEA and I love them because of it. I especially like the PNR books with hot sexy alpha heroes and kick-ass heroines.
Shelly Laurenston, Jet Mykles, Bianca D’Arc, Monette Michaels, Thea Harrison, S. E. Smith, Laurann Dohner, Christine Warren, Vivian Arend, and Eve Langlais all leave me lovestruck because they have sex, humor, hot men, kick ass heroines and romance in their books.
Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win.

The author who left me lovestruck was Laveryle Spencer. I hadn’t read a romance since my teen years, but when a friend loaned me her book (Morning Glory)–I was a goner for Ms. Spencer’s books. There is a depth of emotion in her books that elicits tears and laughter and sadness and excitement in this reader like no others. I’ve read many other romances since reading Ms. Spencer’s books that are very good and I love them as well. But it was Ms. Spencer who started me on the road of romance reading, so she has a soft spot in my heart. 🙂 jdh2690@gmail.com

Wow, where to begin. I would say Jude Deveraux, Nora Roberts, Nalini Singh, Pamela Clare, just to name a few. Each author has their own take on romance and know just the right word at the right time to send the reader through different emotions, to feel like they are the characters and the action is happening to them.

Both of these authors are awesome and I’d love to win their books as I don’t have them yet.
My new book boyfriends this summer are
Tyler Longfoot from Samanthe Beck’s Private Practice, the sex teacher
Joey Manzetti from Cheryl Brooks’ Undeniable, the rock guitar composer with a secret kink 😉

Never Enough was favorite of the book descriptions above =)
I am definitely more a rocker girl than a cowboy girl, well as far as books go and reading about them. However I would never turn away a sexy cowboy in real life!

The latest author to leave me smitten and dumbstruck after reading her book is Mary Ann Rivers with Brian Newburgh in The Story Guy .

My first choice is usually a book that makes me laugh out loud, but the ones that stay with me are books like this that make me cry. Not necessarily because my heart is broken, but because I feel the love so deeply it brings tears to my eyes. That takes talent. Talent Mary Ann Rivers proves she has with The Story Guy.

Angela McCallister is definitely an author able to leave a person lovestruck, as is Calinda B. Eden Summers can have you falling in love with her people all over the place and if you haven’t read J.T. Geissinger, you are missing out on some serious chances to become lovestruck. michelle_willms@yahoo.com

My latest read had me love struck for the hero, May Day by Bebe Balocca.
Sam was *rawr*, built like a Mac truck, knew his way around a woman and wasn´t afraid of telling her what he wanted.. *happy sigh*
Thanks for the giveaway & Happy Saturday!
